RE: DB2LATEX 0.8pre1 bugs?

I downloaded the lists.mod.xsl and this error is now fixed.
The second problem is partially solved (i did many things so i am not =
sure
witch one really helped) but another appeared.
The conversion from docbook to latex works fine, but than pdflatex shows
many errors. It seems to me, they are not lanaguage related. I use =
MikTex
2.4 with Czech language support. When I do have correctly written TEX =
file,
conversion to the PDF works fine. I paste here piece of the docbook
document:

I use the customisation file very similar to the one you wrote into this

Thank you

Thanks. That should now been fixed in CVS (will appear in next =
snapshot). I
think this is the fix:

I'm not entirely certainly, but I think this is a general XML issue,
explained by the following: By default, DB2LaTeX uses ISO-8859-1 =
encoding
for its output.
If the Czech language requires a different encoding, you will need to
specify it yourself. If you have a DB2LaTeX customisation file =
(explained at
the DB2LaTeX website), you can use the following lines:

    <xsl:import href=3D"...path.or.url.to...db2latex/docbook.xsl"/>
    <xsl:output encoding=3D"something.other.than.ISO-8859-1"/>

Note, however, that you will also need to enable corresponding fonts in
LaTeX (for this, you add another line to your DB2LaTeX customisation =
file).
This can be done in a number of ways, but I am not sure what conventions =
to
use for Czech. If you have lang=3D"cs' in your DocBook source files, =
DB2LaTeX
might automatically get LaTeX's babel package to help you out (not sure =
if
it's sufficient, though). If you have a small sample document, I could =
try
some things for you.
